Re: How to delete a svm with cifs running and the AD isn't available

Problem persists with 8.3.2 as well. CIFS server is stopped, but I still can't delete the CIFS server - it asks for AD credentials, but that whole AD environment is gone. Any solutions? Any way we can force deletion of CIFS assets within an SVM so I can eventually delete the SVM?

Interface warns that there are one or more shares associated with the CIFS server, and am I sure? I tell it yes.

Interface gives a second warning saying that it can't delete the AD computer account, and did I want to continue with CIFS server deletion anyway? I tell it yes.

Boom, no more CIFS server. I was able to delete the SVM.

I'm not sure if it'll be have the same way in 8.2.3, but I hope it does. 8.3.2 has been good to me so far, but I'd hate to tell anyone to upgrade just so they can delete a defunct CIFS server. Good luck!
